The Arcane Ward (Wardens of Issalia #2)

An enemy rises, driven by radical beliefs and armed with destructive weapons.

Urgency forces the wardens into action, for a new Empire has captured the eastern kingdoms and seeks to conquer all of Issalia. If the Empire succeeds, magic users will be persecuted.

Everson is a gadgeteer, tasked with harnessing a magical power source. Leveraging his brilliance, he creates new inventions that astound his superiors. His next amazing discovery might save lives...or it could destroy them.

As an espion, Quinn hones her skills in preparation of her first mission. Intense training, combined with her fierce determination and fearless nature, transforms her into something lethal. She will need those skills when she is sent into the heart of the Empire. Alone.

Joined by magic-wielding royal twins and a small group of veterans, the wardens act as Issalia's shield against tyranny. However, the Empire's machinations extend far beyond what anyone suspects.
